Overview:
Welcome to "The Restaurant" — a story-driven adult visual novel where desperation meets desire, and reality isn't always what it seems. Play as Valeria, a sharp-minded wife doing whatever it takes to hold her failing family restaurant together, and Zoey, her fierce goth daughter whose journey takes her beyond college drama into mysterious dimensions she never knew existed. With sandbox exploration, meaningful choices, side quests, and an original soundtrack by Demon Sound, your decisions will shape their fate. How far will you go?​

FIXED BUGS
• v0.2.4 and v0.2.4.1: Quest, secrets, and other minor bugs fixed
Known Bugs
•After finishing the “Living Like It’s the 80s” quest, when Zoey goes to the Junkyard in alternative mode, the system loads the original trailer doors instead of the alternative ones. This happens because the alternative version of the map is not unlocked until completing “Queen of Night” (Zoey’s quest).
The solution caused more issues than the bug itself, so it was left as is.
•Door sounds while exploring streets will be updated in the future and replaced with footstep sounds.
v0.2.3 Release
OLD SAVES WILL NOT WORK! They do not exist in this build.( This build is more of a rework but there are plenty of new content)

• Introduced Phone Gallery. (Messaging/Calling still in progress).

Episode 1 Chapter 1 - v0.2.1

Hello everyone, After 2.5 months of work, I have completed Chapter 1, Episode 1. Thank you for your patience. First, I would like to write about what we have brought in this update.

What's new;

Win/Linux
1) Includes ~500 new pictures and 3 animations
2) 2 Story Quest Added
3) 6 Daily Quest Added
3) 2 New locations Added - School and Restaurant
4) 16 Secret pictures Added
5) 4 New characters Added
6) Tutorials Added
7) Corruption /Restaurant reputation/ Money mechanics are now fully functional!
8) PNG to .webp transition completed. (That means the game file will take less space)

Android/Web
1) Added buttons for each room, making navigation much easier.
2) Hidden pictures will automatically be unlocked when entering a new room.

Missing things / Known problems
1) Not all voiceovers are complete, especially for Valeria. (The game will be fully voiced when I hire a voice actress.)
2) The animation speed transitions are not very good. We will try to fix them for the next update.
3) Character descriptions will be added to the game.
4) New languages will be added to the game
5) This version uses an updated version of Ren'Py compared to the previous release. Users loading from an earlier save may encounter a message saying their save was created from a different device; you may press Yes and safely proceed with the game.
6) The sound will be quite low for users who have played the game before. There are two ways to fix this:
-Manually adjust the volume in the audio settings
-Delete "persistent" file in both location. This will reset all settings to factory defaults (the ones we set)
"C:\Users<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\The Restaurant" remove persistent
"The Restaurant\game\save" remove persistent

Improvements
-The lag issue on some PCs has been resolved by updating Ren'Py
-A few minor bug fixes
-Several typo fixes

Spoiler: Developer notes:

After a long time of grinding and setbacks, the update is finally here. I hope you enjoy it.
Since releasing v0.2.4 on my Patreon, I’ve been continuously testing the game to make sure there are no bugs. I’m tired, but it was worth it.
I’ll keep working to improve the game and take it even further, trying to keep the story interesting and the visuals at the highest quality possible.
Thank you for your support, and have fun!
FUTURE PLANS

• More side quests, locations, and random encounters
• A proper restaurant system where you take orders and serve customers
• More chests with extra special items or animations
• And better main stories, with plenty of sexual content.
